CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to announce: “Encountering God on Death’s Doorstep – Part 2” with Ed Jozsa on March 30th at Xavier Fine Arts

CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to announce: “Encountering God on Death’s Doorstep – Part 2” with Ed Jozsa on March 30th at Xavier Fine Arts

When we kicked off our 2025-2026 Investigate Your Faith series last fall, this was a “hole” in our schedule. But once we heard Part 1 of Ed Jozsa’s miraculous NDE (Near Death Experience) story in October, we knew that Part 2 was the program meant for this Holy Week spot all along. 

On Monday, March 30th at 7 p.m. in the Xavier Fine Arts Theatre, Ed Jozsa will present “ENCOUNTERING GOD on Death’s Doorstep – Part 2″, his fascinating account of mystical experiences that occurred during and after he was crushed and trapped in his car for hours following an accident. Coming to Appleton from Indiana, Ed will give a brief recap of Part 1 before continuing with his story that focuses on how his suffering helped him go deeper into Christ’s Passion and what it means to take up one’s own cross.

If you’re interested, click here to view a trailer for an upcoming documentary on Ed’s miraculous journey:

Seder Meal and The Rest of The Story on March 30th at St. John Nepomucene

Seder Meal and The Rest of The Story on March 30th at St. John Nepomucene

All are welcome to come and join us for our Seder Meal and The Rest of the Story! This amazing event will occur on Monday, March 30th at 6:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Come and learn more about our Jewish roots and how it ties into the Passover while enjoying a light meal and a Passover meal experience. Enjoy singing the songs, the aromas of food and tasting the flavors of a traditional Seder Meal.

We all know that our Christian faith has grown out of the Jewish faith and their traditions, but many of us may not know that much about the Jewish faith which helped form Jesus’s life, teachings, and actions. The Passover Seder was a key element of the Jewish religious practice as the Passover celebration was the high point of their religious year, just as Easter and Holy Week are the high point of our celebration of faith.

Seder means order and is used to describe the Passover meal that God ordered the Israelites to celebrate in Exodus 12:8. The description of the “order” of the celebration was further described elsewhere in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy in the Old Testament, and traditions were incorporated into the seder over time both before and after the time of Jesus. What we know as the Last Supper was the last Seder that Jesus celebrated with His disciples and became the early template for the celebration of our mass.

Click here to view a 4-minute video from a Messianic Jewish Rabbi that gives a little more explanation of the Passover Seder in relation to Jesus and the Last Supper. (Messianic Jews believe that Yeshua (Hebrew for Jesus) is the Messiah and worship God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.)  

Registration is required by March 20th! Register by clicking here to fill out a google form, contacting the parish office at (920) 788-9061 or email Sarah at szteske@stjn.org.

Bring your family and friends and come celebrate at experience of the Passover Meal that you will never forget!
